Sports 8-6 loss to ETSU seals fate Cats barred from SC race Western Carolina's baseball team was mathematically eliminated from the Southern Conference championship race with an 8-6 loss to East Tennessee State, Monday, at Cullowhee. The Cats, going into the game in third place in the league, needed a win against the frontrunning Buccaneers to stay in the race. But, ETSU wiped out a four-run Western lead to win the game. The Cats picked up a run in the second inning when Matt Thrasher singled in Don Ingle, who had doubled. Western then added three more runs in the fourth on a single and stolen base by Kyle Radford, a walk to Ingle, and an error on a sacrifice bunt by Mel Kinsey that loaded the bases. After Radford scored on a passed ball. Thrasher responded again for a two-run single. The Bucs picked up two runs in the fifth when Ken Swinson singled for the first hit of the game off Catamount Starter Greg Moore, and was followed by a hit batter and a walk. The runs scored when second baseman David Hill threw wildly trying to complete a double play. After Western picked up two more runs in the fifth on a single by Kyle Radford and a sacrifice fly by Kinsey, both runs being charged to ETSU starter Curt Kowalski, the Bucs put in reliever Mike Preismeyer, the eventual winner, and he allowed just one more Catamount hit the rest of the game. East Tennessee picked up 3 runs in the sixth on a two-run homer by Chip Deckard and solo shot by centerfielder Ward Griffith that chased Moore. The Bucs tied the score at 6-6 in the seventh after a single and stolen base by Bryan Snyder and a rbi-single by Gary Robinette. They added insurance runs in the ninth on rbi-singles by Robinette and Deckard. David Ray Robinson, 2-1, was charged with the loss, with Preismeyer, 3-1, getting the win. The loss followed a conference doubleheader split with The Citadel in games played Saturday (April 26) at Charleston, SC. Ihe Cats won the first game, 5-4, behind the six-hit pitching of Lin Stadler (5-3) and an eighth inning single by Jim Reinicker that scored Don Ingle. Ingle gave the Cats three hits and two rbi's to lead the Cats' 11 -hit attack. Western Carolina rapped 13 hits in the second game, but lost thai game 7-6, on three errors in the bottom of the seventh that allowed Tony Ramsay to score. The Cals, who committed four errors in the second game, wasted a big three run-fifth inning and two more runs in the sixth off Bulldog stater Jeff Barkley. Randy Sims took the disappointing loss, allowing just six hits while striking out nine batters. The sophomore righthander allowed just two earned runs. Tuesday the Cats traveled to Erskine College for u non-conference game and came away with a 10-5 win. Freshman catcher Greg Johnson went 5 for 5 batting, leading the 19-hit attack with four runs batted in, including a two-run triple in the second that keyed a big four-run inning. Cal Santarelli, 2-1, a freshman righthander, hurled a complete game for the Cats, allowing just five hits, while striking out six. Erskine picked up two unearned runs in the fifth and had a three-run homer from Mike Wells in the eighth to end the scoring for the Flying Fleet. The Cats added four runs in the seventh for insurance as they improved the record to 22-14 overall.

WCU signs new gymanasts Four high school gymnastic standouts have signed athletic grant-in-aids to attend WCU next fall, the school's gymnastic coach Sue Fields announced this week. Signed are Bea Rhodes of Waynesville, NC; Becky Stephenson of Springfield, Virginia; Joanne Malloy of Monroeville, Pennsylvania; and Brenda Swanson of Lighthouse Point, Florida. Rhodes, a local product from Tuscola High, was coached by former-WCU State Champion performer Susan Bulloch Hartsell, and is considered to be one of the best gymnastics talents in North Carolina. Stephenson, from West Springfield High, earned many honors and distinctions to her credit, among those being past performances in the United State Gymnastics Federation Nationals in 1976 and 1977, the Amateur Athletic Union Nationals in 1977 (where she finished 17th best All-Around), and the Virginia State Championships in 1975, 1976 and 1977. She is currently training with the Karon Gymnastics Center of Fairfax, Va. Malloy, a Gateway High School standout for four years, qualified for the Pennsylvania State champion ships for three seasons and has also qualified for the USGF State Championships while competing for a private team, Debi and Rick's School of Gymnastics (Bridgeville, PA). Swanson, a Deerfield Beach High School senior, is a product of Nick Alise's gymnastic program at that high school and also competes for The Gym, a private team from Ft. Lauderdale. In past competition, she has turned in solid 8 plus performances in USGF events. Ms. Swanson plans to work in New York City this summer as a model before entering WCU in the fall. Coach Fields is elated over the good start in her recruiting season. "These girls have the talent and the excellent backgrounds and coaching to help us immediately. The girls are all enthusiastic, energetic, and eager to work for the success of the program at Western. That combination of talent and personality is hard to beat. I have to be pleased about our future with these girls," Coach Fields says, adding, "This new talent should mix well with our returning players to give us experience and depth." Lady Cats place 2nd in tournament Western Carolina University's women's softball team, coming from behind in the loser's bracket, placed second in the North Carolina AIAW Division I Tournament played at Graham, NC, last weekend. The Lady Cats won three of five games played in the tournament to improve its overall record to 26-10. By finishing second, the Lady Cats earned a spot in the State women's softball tournament to be held at Graham, NC, this Saturday. Western got off to a poor start losing to Campbell 3-2 in the first round. The team then whipped Appalachian State, 12-0, and UNC-Greensboro 6-0, to advance out of the tournament losers bracket. In the semi-finals, WCU squeezed by UNC-Chapel Hill, 3-2, to set up the championship game match-up against East Carolina. fhe Lady Cats, seeded fourth going into the tourney, had given the Lady Bucs one of its two in-state defeats. But, the defending state champion pulled away late to capture the crown by a 6-3 score. Western placed six players on the All-Tournament team. Kerry Cooke, Jane Bell, Jennifer Blanton, Kit Rea, Kirtly Schultheis and Cindy Green were honored for their fine play in the tournament. Participants for next weekend's state tournament, the top two finishers in the Division I. II, and III competition, will playoff to decide what team will advance to the regionals.
